executive committee

An executive committee, made up of twelve elected representatives, manages the business of the organisation. This is currently led by Anna König Jerlmyr, mayor of Stockholm and president of EUROCITIES.

The executive committee meets at least three times a year and oversees our annual work programme, internal rules and budget, as approved by the annual general meeting (AGM).

Our current executive committee is comprised of the following members:

Anna König Jerlmyr, mayor of Stockholm (president)

Dario Nardella, mayor of Florence (vice-president)

Rafał Trzaskowski, mayor of Warsaw (treasurer)

Burkhard Jung, mayor of Leipzig (secretary)

Ada Colau, mayor of Barcelona

Ian Ward, leader of Birmingham City Council

Mathias De Clercq, mayor of Ghent

Zoran Janković, mayor of Ljubljana

Johanna Rolland, mayor of Nantes

Ahmed Aboutaleb, mayor of Rotterdam

Mihhail Kõlvart, mayor of Tallinn

Michael Ludwig, mayor of Vienna

annual conference

Important decisions relating to the network are made at the annual general meeting (AGM), which is held during our annual conference. Each member city is represented at the meeting.

The 2019 annual conference will take place in Prague on 20-22 November.

forums and working groups

Our day-to-day work is conducted through six thematic forums and a number of related working groups in which our members can participate. Forums monitor developments in specific policy areas, addressing issues and coordinating activities. They also set up and monitor working groups, and draft EUROCITIES position papers. Each forum meets two to three times each year and elects its own chair and vice chair.

The executive committee also has working groups on cross-cutting themes such as governance, neighbourhood policy and public services.
